Wrestlers ready to grab the big 750

Wrestling fans take notice. Sometime in early January, if I were a betting man I’d say on Jan. 10, the Saints wrestling team is going to accomplish a significant achievement in the history of St. James, now SJA, wrestling.

Wrestling fans take notice. Sometime in early January, if I were a betting man I’d say on Jan. 10, the Saints wrestling team is going to accomplish a significant achievement in the history of St. James, now SJA, wrestling.

With a couple more wins, the wrestlers will have earned the 750th team win in the long history of St. James/SJA wrestling.

The Saints have been wrestling since 1950, so this would be a significant milestone in the history of the sport in this town.

If the Saints win the next two matches against Waseca tonight and River Valley on Jan. 8, then the 750th match could come on the road against New Ulm on Jan. 10.

The Saints are only going to wrestle at home on four nights in January, so take the opportunity to see this year’s SJA team on their quest to keep adding to the wins all the Saints wrestling teams have earned over the decades.
